Aunt Annie" Writes About Her IllrtU
day. "There' no dew left on the daisies and
clover.
There's u rain left in Heaven
I've said my "seveu times" over :id ivr,
Seven time j one are seven."
There was a time when this verse of .lean
Ingelow's would apply to me, but this little
mile stone is past and forg itteu long ago,
and now I am neither seven times six, n t
aevea times seveu, but have to take a medi
um ground, or multiply the inside terms,
I have lieen sick for the last three or four
week, but sick or well, time moves on, and
our birthdays come and go. I never forget
it when I am at home, but I glide over it
sometimes when I am among strangers,
simply to avoid discussion, because no one
would ever think me as old as I am,- and I
do not care to argue the point.
Well as I said my birthday has come and
gone.
One more twsalieth of November is num
bered with my forty-six others
As I .aid in the beginning I hud not b-en
well for some time and I gtiets my friends
thought they would cheer uie up some, so
in came the presents. First on tbb list is
that dear old book David oppernVld, and
I am now reviewing old acquaints ms with
'Tegolty," and "little Emily," for while I
'am getting older, they stay jast the same.
Then some one gave me "Sesame and
Lilies," and the binding is just as pretty as
it can be, nod the bunch of Sesame on the
outside looks just as natural, for we all
know what Sesame is, and what a delightfal
odor.
Well they say variety Is the spire of life,
now I will mix somotliluiF more substantia!
along with my literary presents, .lust as
the shades of evening were gathering i.n
old friend came with something white ami
flulTy, holding in her hand, and amid my
thanks and appreciation 1 was informed tha'
it was a "Ely away" bow, well 1 have it yet.
and it sha'l never l!v away from me, fc r it is
pretty u m I will look mighty nice.
Next on the programme was anothir
Ely away. " b..t this was a bird, a partridge,
